That is the same excuse used by the left to justify the homicide bombers in Israel. "They're fighting with the ONLY weapons they have... their BODIES (sob, tear...)".

Ever hear someone on the left discussing the courage of the Nazis?

Don't jump to conclusions over the word "activist". In this case it was a leftist activist. Activist has started to mean leftist, but if we want to change things we have to be activists... for the right.

No problem. It's hard to keep track, as unfortunately the list keeps growing.

I agree, but I'd like to have a new term used instead. Like "citizen"

Seriously, the only thing I remembered about her was that Sideshow Bob mentioned her name in a Simpsons episode.

As much as I wished she could have kept her mouth shut, my condolences go out to her family at this time.

Perhaps Susan Santog, Snotrag, Sontag... will live on as Ann Landers has through the voice of other writers using the pseudonym.

Paging Jason Blair...

If you want to repost as a link only, with no text from the article, that'll be all right.

The fact is, you don't have to be able to read to enjoy the Springfield Review of Books. Just look at these amusing caricatures of Gore Vidal and Susan Sontag. -- Sideshow Bob

LOL!

No matter what Kelsey Grammar does, to me he will always be Sideshow Bob.

Satanic Maitre'D:Welcome Ms Sontag, your table is waiting! Joining you at your table is the most debonair and disillusioned Mohammed Atta, who will show you personally what the cult of Islam thinks of enlightened Western liberal women such as yourself. Mr. Atta? Your main course is coming up next!

Sontag:I'm getting a bad feeling about this...

Anything is possible, but most counterfeiters would be exposed immediately due to lack of insight and literary expertise.
